I've never done intarsia before and (stupidly) I didn't bother looking up directions I figured I'd just tie on my other-colored yarn and go. I had the vague impression that I was supposed to be carrying the yarn across the cloth, but being a dish cloth, I didn't want to have extra bits of yarn to snag. So...I didn't do that part and sadly my cloth 1) has holes in it and 2) I messed up the counting or something becasue he looks like his jaw is displaced or something. sad.
I am not defeated! I will try again! And maybe this time I'll read some directions...
It's not bad for a first try. One key to intarsia knitting...is to twist the colors along the back to prevent holes. It's not too hard, but sort of "fiddly." You will get it! Hugs and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCarissa,
ReplyDeleteI actually need to learn intarsia for my next project. Maybe we can try to figure it out tomorrow??

That is cute, even if it is a first try.
ReplyDeleteVery bold dish cloth. I feel challenged.
